Traci and I spent our New Year's Eve watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” I cant help but thank God for all of the blessings. Traci and I watch this movie every year to bring in the new year.
This movie is one of our favorites! If you have not seen it, you should! The lead character, George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) is a dreamer who drops all of his dreams to run the family business. He is an honest and fair man but does not get to pursue his dreams because of his obligations.
Unknown to him, his dreams are happening all around him. Not his dreams but the ones God has chosen for him. Several events finally make him realize that he has a wonderful life!
God has done the same for Traci and I. This year has been extraordinary for us!
I want to thank God for the following miracles:
• Dad survived breaking his upper leg and recovered remarkably
• We had our 5th grand baby born and the 6th one is on the way
• We had our friends, the Mike Janis Sr. and Jr. come down to help us make our first test runs in “The Black Hole”
• We have made 9 runs in the car without a single mechanical or driver failure
• We we’re blessed with the ability to help my sister get her forever home
• We made several new friends (more adopted family) through our drag racing habit
• Our business had it’s best year ever
• Our business landed the largest single job ever
• After praying and praying about what to do about our multi time flooded home, God showed us our forever home and helped us to buy it.
Now if that is not a miracle year, I don’t know what is. This year is even going to be better!
Traci and I have moved into our new home and we are getting settled in now. We love it so much.
I spent the holidays rewiring the garage to have a sufficient electrical supply for all of my tools, lathe, mill, band saw, RV, and race rig. The garage is fully functional now and I have just begun to work on the cars again.

I have a lot to do before we can go test again! I am putting a different ignition system on "The Black Hole" and making some other changes to make the car easier to work on and lighter. I also have to rebuild "The Blue Banana" because the engine in it is getting tired.
The race season will be here before you know it! I don't know how much we will get to accomplish this year because we have a lot of stuff going on but we are going to do everything we can.
We have met so many nice people with our drag racing dream and reconnected with some friends that we haven't seen in years. Everyone has been so supportive!
2020 is going to be an exciting year for us. It has already gotten off to a good start! I believe in the power of prayer and my savior Jesus Christ. I know he will give us the desires of our heart if we truly believe.
I am claiming in the name of Jesus these things for 2020 if it is His will:
• Another great year for our business
• Safe and competitive runs in “The Black Hole”
• A cure for Kayla!
• A great season for our friends, the Janis’s
• A healthy birth of our 6th grand baby
• Prosperity and health for our friends/family
• The sell of our properties that we no longer need
Thank you Jesus for “A Wonderful Life”!
Happy New Year!
